Dutch message to President Trump

[Firestarter]

There is just no end to the Trump corruption scandals…
What sort of distractions will they stage to cover this up? Maybe let Trump’s border czar Tom Homan appear on Bill Maher’s talk show, fire a famous TV comedian, some Epstein…, or even kill a MAGA loyalist to blame it on some leftist tranny lover?!?

On 20 September 2024, cameras recorded the Heritage Foundation’s contributor to Project 2025, Tom Homan, getting a $50,000 in bills bribe in Texas from FBI undercover agents posing as business executives.
Homan promised that he would help the FBI agents win government contracts in the coming second Trump administration.

In recent weeks, team Trump closed the investigation (whatever happened to the “drain the swamp” campaign stunt?).
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche explained why this investigation was closed:

This matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.

.
Some legal experts say that Tom Homan getting bribed “didn’t clearly fit under a standard bribery charge”, because at the time he wasn’t a public official.
Other legal experts insist that it IS a crime, because he was seeking money to improperly influence federal contracts, and ultimately it doesn’t matter whether he was a public official at the time, or if he delivered on his promise or not.

According to Alex Nowrasteh of the right wing Koch-funded Cato Institute:

The FBI recorded Trump’s border czar accepting a $50,000 bribe. Then the Trump administration buried it to protect their guy. If true, Tom Homan should be in prison with those who covered it up. Pretty minor corruption for Trump’s 2nd term though.

In another clear distraction move 'All Talk, No Action' TACO Donald is posting that his Attorney General Pam Bondi must immediately go after his ‘political enemies’ (that are probably really his buddies), former FBI Director James Comey, Congressman Adam Schiff, and New York State Attorney General Letitia James: https://archive.is/EH3x6





And to finish this post, some right wingers are complaining that Trump is really a RINO communist (you could even call this merging of business with government ‘fascist’…).

The US government now owns a 10% stake in Intel.
George Mason University Law professor Ilya Somin calls the Intel deal:

…an example of the dangerous similarities between right-wing nationalist and left-wing socialist economic policies. Both favor extensive government control, direction, and — as in this case — even ownership of industry.

.

Every computer since 2008 with an Intel or AMD processor has a built-in back door. It can access everything on your computer, without you knowing. It can even open a remote connection on the network interface (which really makes it a backdoor).

The federal government has also gotten a 15% share in Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices sales of chips to China. Is this some sort of ‘export tax’ or is ‘extortion’ a better name for it?!?
The Cato Institute’s Clark Packard and Alfredo Carrillo Obregon called the deal “crony capitalism” and warn that Trump is abusing his executive power “to bring private companies to the negotiating table to serve the president’s political prerogatives.”

The Trump administration also bypassed procurement and contracting rules in favour of MP Materials, which operates the US’ only rare-earth mine in California. The US Department of Defense is “coincidentally” MP’s largest shareholder with a 15% stake.

The US government has also taken a “golden share” in US Steel when it was sold to Nippon Steel.
National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett says the administration is looking at taking stakes in more companies as steps towards establishing a “sovereign wealth fund”: https://archive.is/NsruG

Maybe you’ve heard about Trump’s America financing Milei’s failed Argentina with another $20 billion. What you’ve probably haven’t heard is that this is effectively a bailout for some of those too big to fail investors that could lose money on their bets (or ‘investments’) in Argentina.
Some of these investors are associated with the much hated business partner of Trump and Kushner, George Soros.
This shouldn’t surprise anybody as Soros is very close to the Dutch royals, with their own Argentinian connections. Javier Milei is linked to the Argentinian queen of the Netherlands, Maxima: viewtopic.php?p=81888#p81888


The large investors in Argentina include BlackRock, Fidelity and Pimco.
I had previously posted about big investment funds – including BlackRock and Fidelity – owning the US economy: viewtopic.php?p=4481#p4481

Pimco is another enormous asset manager (the 6th-largest in the world).
The members of Pimco’s global advisory board members are:
Joshua Bolten, former White House Chief of Staff.
Gordon Brown, former UK PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Michèle Flournoy, co-founder of WestExec, which was part of the Dutch royals controlled ‘Macro’ network through which the Biden administration was controlled.
Raghuram Rajan, former Chief Economist at the IMF (that also financed Milei’s failed shock policies).

Trump’s Treasury secretary Scott Bessent worked with Stan Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone for George Soros. Druckenmiller mentored Bessent at Soros Fund Management.
Stan Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone are some of the large investors in Argentina. Citrone had contacted Bessent for help in protecting his investments in Argentina, as a peso crash would hurt his wealth…

Stan Druckenmiller is chair of the Robin Hood Foundation.

One of the largest donors to the “Robin Hood Tax” is the Open Society Foundation of none other than Trump/Kushner/Clinton funder George Soros (also a large donor to Tides).
From January 2009 to April 2014 the Open Society Foundation donated $50 million to the Robin Hood Tax.

According to Senator Elizabeth Warren:

It is inexplicable that President Trump is propping up a foreign government, while he shuts down our own. Trump promised ‘America First,’ but he’s putting himself and his billionaire buddies first and sticking Americans with the bill.

.
Citrone and leaders of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) were probably also instrumental in lobbying the IMF to bail out Argentina.
In April, the IMF already supported Argentina’s economy with a $20 billion bailout agreement. Days after the IMF deal, Citrone flew to Buenos Aires to meet Milei on a plane owned by one of the leaders of CPAC’s lobbying arm Tactic Global, Leonardo Scatturice (cofounder of Tactic).

See Leonardo Scatturice, Donald Trump and Barry Bennett giving it a thumbs up.


Argentina’s economy over the years was propped up by an $18 billion currency swap from China.
While American farmers are heavily burdened by Trump’s never-ending tariffs hysteria, this year Argentina has been exporting more than 2.5 metric tons of soybeans to China (replacing American farmers): https://archive.is/6bWMv


Scatturice’s lobbying firm, Tactic Global – which is also paid by the US Department of Justice – advises Argentina’s Intelligence Secretariat on liaising with Washington, and vice versa.
In late 2024 and early 2025, Leonardo Scatturice was awarded lucrative contracts with Argentina’s Economy Ministry, the President’s Office and the Education Secretariat.

Leonardo Scatturice is also affiliated and in business with Daniel Hadad, the owner of Argentina’s biggest news outlet, Infobae media: https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/opinion ... gton.phtml


Barry Bennett (head of Scatturice’s Tactic Global) is a prominent Republican strategist, who years ago settled charges against him for failing to disclose lobbying for Qatar with a $100,000 fine.

In 2017, Qatar paid Barry Bennett’s Avenue Strategies Global $2.1 million to lobby for the Qatari embassy, of which $773,000 for Yemen Watch for activities that Avenue Strategies ‘forgot’ to disclosure.
Apparently Yemen Crisis Watch was criticising the genocide of Yemen “to draw negative attention to one of Qatar’s rival nations” (probably Saudi Arabia or the UAE). This is strange as the kingdom of Qatar was also involved in the war against Yemen: https://archive.is/2t5Mm

In another clear distraction move 'All Talk, No Action' TACO Donald is posting that his Attorney General Pam Bondi must immediately go after his ‘political enemies’ (that are probably really his buddies), former FBI Director James Comey, Congressman Adam Schiff, and New York State Attorney General Letitia James

If there is one thing we can agree upon regarding Donald, it could be that he is more entertaining than senile Joe.
Trump’s frenemies James Comey, Letitia James and John Bolton have suddenly been indicted: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/1 ... s-00612387

I really don’t understand how Trump can get away with his open corruption. If I understand correctly, there are still Republicans that support this crook…

For years we’ve heard poor poor Donald whining that the Russiagate investigation, for which he appointed special cover-up artist Robert Mueller to ‘investigate’ who of course covered it up, was a “hoax” and a “witch hunt”, and that he was also unjustly accused of having taken classified documents to Mar-a-Lago…
Now Trump has decided that because this was a terrible unjust persecution of Trump, the Department of Justice (ultimately the taxpayer) must pay him $230 million in compensation, to be awarded by top justice department officials appointed by Trump.

Trump admitted that this is “awfully strange”:

I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get, I would give to charity. I’m the one that makes the decision and that decision would have to go across my desk and it’s awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself.

.
Trump had earlier referred to this corrupt scheme:

I have a lawsuit that was doing very well, and when I became president, I said, I’m sort of suing myself. It sort of looks bad, I’m suing myself, right? So I don’t know. But that was a lawsuit that was very strong, very powerful.

.
The $230 million in damages has to be approved by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Civil Division head Stanley Woodward Jr. Blanche was Trump’s lead criminal defence lawyer and in February said that his attorney-client relationship with Donald has continued. Woodward represented Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta, in the classified documents case and has also represented other Trump aides, including Kash Patel in relation to the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021: https://archive.is/k1gkX


Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia sent a letter (that will really show Trump who’s boss!) noting that the Constitution’s Domestic Emoluments Clause prohibits the president from receiving an additional payment above his salary from the federal government and that the Federal Tort Claims Act also prohibits the payment of this $230 million.
.

In remarks to the press this week, you described a blatantly illegal and unconstitutional effort to steal $230 million from the American people. Your plan to have your obedient underlings at the Department of Justice (DOJ) instruct the U.S. Treasury to pay you, personally, hundreds of millions of dollars — especially at a time when most Americans are struggling to pay rent, put food on the table, and afford health care — is an outrageous and shocking attempt to shake down the American people.

If either of your claims had any merit, you could have taken them to court by now and litigated them publicly. You did not do that. Instead, you waited until you became President and installed your handpicked loyalists at DOJ, knowing that you could instruct them to co-sign your demand notes in secret behind closed doors, and then you could present the notes to the U.S. Treasury for cold hard cash courtesy of the American taxpayer. That isn’t justice, it is theft.

This reminds me of Donald’s other settlements, that were used as a scheme that companies could bribe him.

Trump is reportedly the first US president to file frivolous lawsuits for libel or defamation which has already made him some $91 million, when the defendants settled the cases out of fear for worse, or effectively as a bribe.

It took until May 2025 that FT finally reported that Hayden Davis made $21 million through insider trading of the MELANIA meme coin, cheating (sniping?) gullible Trump supporters.

A complaint has been filed by investors against Benjamin Chow, cofounder of Meteora, and Hayden Davis, cofounder of Kelsier Labs.
Chow and Davis are accused of running pump-and-dump schemes on at least 15 crypto coins, including the $MELANIA coin.

After it was launched in February, $MELANIA quickly rose to a peak value of $1.6 billion, it has since lost more than 95% of its peak value.
Prior to the launch, wallets controlled by Meteora and Kelsier already owned almost a third of the $MELANIA supply: https://www.wired.com/story/melania-tru ... ng-claims/

Binance’s billionaire founder, Changpeng Zhao, has been trying to get (buy?!) a Trump pardon after he pleaded guilty in 2023.

Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, founder of the crypto exchange Binance, following months of Zhao boosting the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture, and hiring Ches McDowell to lobby for the pardon.
The Justice Department imposed a $4.3 billion fine and oversight on Binance, and barred it from the US (so what does this “oversight” mean?!?). Changpeng Zhao spent only 4 months in prison.

Representatives of the Trump family are negotiating to get a lucrative stake in the US arm of Binance: https://archive.is/XRw42

The following story on the Tether crypto scam (https://cryptadamus.substack.com/p/trum ... s-tethered) is for some reason blocked from internet search results. Unfortunately it is so long that it’s hard to read, and the ‘bombshell’ is hard to find in the long text…
Apparently the main person in Tether is Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whose company Cantor Fitzgerald is effectively the bank for Tether.

I had previously posted about Lutnick’s association with Fergie, the ex-wife of disgraced prince Andrew.

SARAH FERGUSON, DUCHESS OF YORK: Well, Larry, our offices were on the 101st floor with -- and Howard Lutnick had very kindly, for many years now, had given us an office there.

Could covering up this robbery be the reason for all the stories on the $20 and $40 billion to Milei’s Argentina?!?
.

There are lots of poor stories on the FTX bankruptcy, and lots of dumb videos, but the following is actually quite good.
FTX collected some $16 billion of customer money; where did the money go?

viewtopic.php?p=80707#p80707

It never made much sense to me that they let Bankman-Fried’s crypto scheme collapse and sentence him to 25 years in prison. Bankman-Fried with his friends in high places, and donating to both democrats and republicans.

It appears that it was all a scheme for Lutnick to plunder $40 billion worth of crypto. So first they bankrupt FTX, and then keep the loot!

Tether’s biggest customer was Sam Bankman-Fried, who bought $40 billion worth of USDT from Tether prior to becoming infamous in 2022 when his company FTX was bankrupted.
As the crypto investors never got their money back, the $40 billion remained at Cantor Fitzgerald, so in Howard Lutnick’s pockets!!!
.

You can’t make this $hit up! Earlier this month, Macron called Mohammed bin Zayed to discuss “cooperation” between the 2 countries (no joke!)…
My wild guess is that a publicity stunt for Telegram was among the discussion points

viewtopic.php?p=86109#p86109

Tether’s customers also include Pavel Durov, who in a nice publicity stunt for Telegram was arrested in France and then quietly released, after which nothing more was heard about this…

Tether’s USDT token is widely used by drug criminals, and sanctions evaders from Iran, Russia and Venezuela. So of course even the sanctions boost crypto…

https://archive.is/R6CJI

.

That's not even counting that Sullivan & Cromwell represents several crypto competitors of FTX that have an interest in how the bankruptcy is handled - BlockFi, Coinbase, Gemini, and Kracken.
And in a strange twist, BlockFi has filed a lawsuit (with the help of Sullivan & Cromwell?) that approximately $440 million of shares in Robinhood belong to it as collateral for loans it made to FTX. While the Sullivan & Cromwell bankruptcy team for FTX is arguing that the Robinhood shares belong to FTX's subsidiairy Alameda Research.
And - of course - Robinhood is also a client of Sullivan & Cromwell (!)

Current CEO of FTX John J. Ray III selected Sullivan & Cromwell as lead counsel and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan as Special Counsel in the bankruptcy proceedings (what's another conflict of interest anyway?).

.
Apparently it were the crooks lawyers of Sullivan & Cromwell that orchestrated the $40 billion crypto heist.

In April 2025, the Lutnick-controlled Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald announced the crypto joint venture Twenty One with the SoftBank Group.
In this partnership, none other than Sullivan & Cromwell LLP was the legal advisor to SoftBank.

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP was the legal advisor to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP was legal advisor to Twenty One and Tether: https://archive.is/DRfXX

.

I haven’t quite been able to find a good story on the corruption of the big international law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which was also involved in lobbying for Ukraine with Mercury and Podesta, and also “forgot” to register as a foreign agent, but I found some interesting connections…

The same substack writer explains how the memecoin and bitcoin ponzi schemes work in the following essay…

The right way to think about trading memecoins is like a giant game of financial chicken.

Let’s take an example: you and a small group of degenerate gamblers (“degens”) that you probably met in a video game that involved shooting each other with some kind of weapon gather around a campfire3 and decide to create a memecoin called FartCoin4. You all chip in the princely sum of around €15 to create 1,000 FartCoins out of thin air6 which you divide amongst yourselves. After the FartCoins have been divvied up between you, you all get up from the campfire and stride into The Social Media Wastes where you start tweeting, bleeting, and TikTok'ing about FartCoin’s virtues in the hopes that you can convince other people to buy some of your FartCoins.

If your merry band of FartCoiners can convince enough people to buy FartCoins then the price of FartCoin will go up, at which point other degens might notice that the price of FartCoins is going up and start buying FartCoins for themselves. Once these other degens own some FartCoins they will start to do their own social media posts about how great FartCoin is and how it’s going to make everyone rich, recruiting new degens to the cause. Rinse, repeat, etc.

Now in order to win this game of FartCoin chicken at some point you will have to sell your FartCoins for Real Money. If you sell too late (meaning after everyone else sells) you will lose all your money (womp womp) but if you hold your FartCoins as a million new suckers buy up tons of FartCoins you could make 1,000,000% returns. Thus the game is to sell your FartCoins to suckers as close to the top as possible, before the (inevitable) crash in the FartCoin market.

While American farmers are heavily burdened by Trump’s never-ending tariffs hysteria, this year Argentina has been exporting more than 2.5 metric tons of soybeans to China (replacing American farmers)

In July, Howard Lutnick’s Tether bought the large Argentinian agriculture company Adecoagro that will profit from Trump’s policies that hurt US farmers.
Trump is even importing Argentinian beef of which Adecoagro will profit. You could of course argue that a Lutnick-owned Argentinian company making profits while US farmers are bankrupted, Makes America Great Again. But I think it shouldn’t work that way…

In December 2024, the Lutnick-controlled Tether bought a large stake in the Argentinian satellite company Satellogic, which is in a strategic partnership with the Palantir of Bilderberg steering committee members Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.
Lutnick’s Cantor Fitzgerald already owned a large stake in Satellogic.

The right wing YouTube competitor Rumble, whose shareholders include Howard Lutnick, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Kash Patel will probably be integrated with Tether into a great video / money laundering system payment processor.

Shortly after Tether bought a large stake in the famous Italian football club Juventus, several Juve players were pictured in the White House with president Trump.
.

Dmitry Rybolovlev bought Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion for $95 million in 2008. During the campaign his private jet was repeatedly spotted where Trump’s private jet arrived.
In March 2017, a spokesperson for Rybolovlev said it was "pure coincidence" that his and Trump’s planes were parked next to each other in North Carolina and that Rybolovlev "has no connection whatsoever to Mr. Trump or his team of advisers".

Tether plans to nominate the Uruguayan Juan Sartori to Juve’s board. Sartori previously owned 36% of the English football club Sunderland and is vice-president of AS Monaco, majority-controlled by Russian oligarch Dmitri Rybolovlev.
Sartori is married to Rybolovlev’s daughter, Ekaterina.

Tether was founded by the Italians Gianluca Devasini and Paolo Ardoino: https://www.finews.asia/high-end/43216- ... -asia-apac

Trump has also made millions in a variety of crypto scams, which includes:
A $412.5 million profit through World Liberty tokens, with the help of Chinese-born crypto billionaire Justin Sun;

Binance’s billionaire founder, Changpeng Zhao, has been trying to get (buy?!) a Trump pardon after he pleaded guilty in 2023.

Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, founder of the crypto exchange Binance, following months of Zhao boosting the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture, and hiring Ches McDowell to lobby for the pardon.

Justin Sun’s escape from Beijing to Seoul came after he was informed by his crypto-associate Changpeng “CZ” Zhao about the coming ICO ban, after which Sun pushed TRX to finish its token sale the day before the ban was announced.

See Lara and Eric Trump, with Justin Sun in Hong Kong, August 2025.


An employee of Justin Sun’s Tron went to Malta and met Malta’s minister of economy and industry Silvio Schembri. They planned another meeting between Sun and the country’s former PM Joseph Muscat, who was forced to step down after protests against his blatant corruption broke out.
Sun secretly invested in Malta to be awarded a Maltese passport. Sun has also bought a citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
